I can't delete a spam file that was added to my account.

a phisher loaded a spam file on in my dropbox and the three dots are not giving me the option to delete the file. I can delete all my other files/folders.  Suggestions? Thanks!

    Hey dbailey747, let's jump right into this!

     

    How did that happen exactly? Did someone have access to your Dropbox account, or is this a shared file? 

     

    What options do you see on your end, when clicking the ellipsis next to the file? 

     

    Let me know more!
